With License Approved in Minas Gerais, the Company Is Ready to Start Operations in the Jequitinhonha Valley, Generating Jobs and Promoting Sustainability

Atlas Lithium now has operational license for the Neves Project, advancing to consolidate its presence in the lithium mining sector. This authorization, issued by the government of Minas Gerais, allows a company to set up and operate its processing plant. This way, Atlas can start mining operations in the open sky in the Jequitinhonha Valley. This crucial step prepares the company to stand out among the leading lithium producers in Brazil, benefiting from the global increase in demand for batteries, especially for electric vehicles.

This advancement reflects the result of a rigorous process. The approval, granted on October 25, 2024, was a unanimous decision by a local council with members from the government and civil society. The license, officially published on October 26, concludes a series of technical reviews conducted by the Environmental Foundation of Minas Gerais. Thus, Atlas Lithium can now move forward safely, respecting environmental regulations, according to the site Brasil Mineral.

Neves Project: A Landmark for the Jequitinhonha Valley

The Neves Project is part of Atlas Lithium’s strategy to transform the Jequitinhonha Valley into a global lithium hub. With this license, the company can build its processing plant to treat and transform concentrated lithium ore, an essential input for the technology industry. The plant has been designed with technologies that minimize environmental impact, meeting the most rigorous standards.

Commitment to Sustainability and Full Licensing

The Atlas Lithium license includes the preliminary, installation, and operational licensing stages in Minas Gerais (LI/LP/LO). This structure allows a company to streamline its processes and start operations quickly. Since the request made in September 2023, Atlas has met all the safety, sustainability, and environmental responsibility requirements set by regulatory authorities.

Atlas Lithium’s CEO, Marc Fogassa, emphasized the impact of this approval. “The operational license is a decisive milestone for the project, overcoming one of the biggest challenges in mining. This result reflects fourteen months of meticulous work by our team during the licensing, demonstrating our commitment to an environmentally responsible and sustainable operation in Brazil’s Lithium Valley,” stated Fogassa.

Local Benefits and Expansion in the Global Lithium Market

With the license in hand, Atlas Lithium is ready to start the construction and operation of the Neves Project. This new phase promises to bring economic benefits to the Jequitinhonha Valley, especially through the creation of new jobs in the region of Minas Gerais. Additionally, by adopting sustainable practices, the company stands out as an environmentally responsible lithium product.

The global lithium market continues to grow due to the demand for sustainable technologies and electric vehicles. Brazil’s strategic position strengthens Atlas Lithium, especially with the pressure for eco-friendly practices. The company also contributes to the global energy transition, solidifying Brazil as a key player in supplying essential inputs for this transformation.
